I have just joined this forum, given that I have acquired a 1996 F-250 Crew Cab long-bed with the 7.3 Power Stroke diesel motor, which I plan to use to tow a 1976 31 foot Airstream Sovereign as well as a 1998 27 foot Bayliner Ciera cuddy cabin cruiser. I acquired both of these toys within the last year but had no tow vehicle for either. When I learned that one of my friends was considering selling the truck, I made him an offer he could not refuse!

We keep our boat in dry dock at Port Canaveral, and our trailer is stored at a campground on the Withlacoochee River in Citrus County. Now we can take either or both of them to other places within the state ... like towing the boat down to the Keys or taking the trailer to the beach!

The prior owner of this truck was a truck mechanic, so the truck has been maintained well. However, being a newbie to owning such a large truck, I am sure that I can learn some things and will be asking advice.

Regards,
Charlie
